Welcome to Team Addison
We spread awareness for Addison’s disease. We want to make it more known to increase the knowledge to get the right treatment in health care. It will save lives. You can support Team Addison by donating or buying one of our products in our webshop.
What is Addison’s disease?
Addison’s disease means that you are deficient in mainly the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. The hormones are normally produced in the adrenal cortex. When you have Addison’s disease, the adrenal cortex produces too little of these hormones. Untreated Addison’s disease or very low cortisol levels is a life-threatening condition and can lead to death.
How do we spread awareness?
We spread awareness about Addison’s disease by wearing clothes with the Team Addison’s logo. Both those with Addison’s and healthy can wear them. The purpose is to be seen. We have also made a documentary that depicts the bad knowledge and ignorance that exists in the healthcare system and conveys the helplessness that many with symptoms of Addison’s disease experience.
